FAIRVIEW — A 31-year-old borough man was attacked in a robbery attempt as he walked to work early Thursday near Park Avenue and North 10th Street, police said.

The assailant demanded money from the man and hit him with an undisclosed object after he said he didn’t have any cash, according to Detective Lt. Vincent Bellucci of the Fairview police. The victim was not seriously hurt in the assault, which was reported around 3:30 a.m.

Borough officers and the county police K-9 unit searched the area, but didn’t find the attacker, Bellucci said. He was last seen fleeing east on Park Avenue.

The investigation was ongoing, Bellucci added. Anyone with information can call police at 201-943-2100.
